A Whole Lot Stronger

I will no longer allow you to beat me down,
And no longer will I wear a frown.
I was able to wake up and get on my dress,
I've done what I needed to work through the mess.
I am able to wear a smile today,
I'm done with just being okay.
I'm getting a whole lot stronger,
You cannot hold me down any longer.
I belong to me,
And none of this will you ever see.
One good lesson I have learned,
Is that I don't have to be continuously burned.
I carry my head high now with pride,
Look at everything you have to hide.
I am getting a whole lot stronger,
You cannot hold me down any longer.
I have excepted responsibility for what I've done,
I no longer have to run.
You claimed to be a friend,
My back I did break and bend.
For you I lied,
For you I cried.
But I'm getting a whole lot stronger,
 And you cannot hold me down any longer!

Punish Me

Do you ever feel like your living a lie?
It leaves me feeling lonely so all I can do is 
cry.
Wishing things would be the same,
Instead of playing this stupid little game.
Do you even know what this is doing to 
me?
Your so blind to my needs it's me you 
can't really see.
So many disturbances inside,
One is I feel like I have just died.
I can't handle the hurt and pain,
Let alone fell like I have gone insane.
You seem to be standing in my way,
Apparently you want me to snap today.
I can't get you to back off and let me be,
I'm about to walk out the door and hand 
you the key.
We've been playing this game for far to 
long,
And your not going to punish me for 
learning how to be strong.
If you want me to stay,
Than with me you have to be more than 
just okay.
You need to stand beside me,
Or turn and flee

With This Knowledge

Do you ever feel empty and alone?
I do so I pick up the telephone.
Ring,ring, and it's nobody there,
So off into space I begin to stare.
So many things I don't understand,
Like how I calm down to the touch of 
Jimmy's hand.
For me life is just so crazy,
And so in bed I wish I could just be lazy.
Sometimes my thoughts belong in a freak 
show,
The more I have them the more the grow.
I think about when I was molested as a 
child,
In the back of my head this I have filed.
I hate when I go to bed and start 
dreaming,
I wake up hysterical and completely 
steaming.
But there are good days and some bad,
Some that make me happy and some that 
are sad.
But I am strong,
And with this knowledge I will never go 
wrong!

My Lover My Friend

There are some things I need to say to you,
Like the fact that I have fallen in love is very true!
You have brought so much joy into my life,
I truly can't wait for the day I become your wife!
The way you touch me makes me fall apart,
I can feel it all the way to the bone,and in my heart!
It pains me when we fight,
Sometimes it scares me so much,because I think you may take flight.
You've been my hero, and it's truly a wonder,
How you make love to me,
And my body feels like, it's been struck with thunder!
I can't recall having these feelings before,
And every day I can't wait for you to walk threw the door!
Sometimes I want to put my arms around you and never let go,
But I  have to remind myself we have forever so take it slow!
The way you hold me passionately in your arms,
Strikes me with such warming alarms!
Right now I know we struggle and strive,
But I also know we are fighters, and we will survive!
Looking in your eyes, it amazes me,
Finding our future together is all I can see!
I know sometimes I make you angry and confused,
But I also know twinkling my nose keeps you amused!
Even with the hard times things have always been great,
And I know being with you is my fate!
I depend on you so my sweet love,
Without you I don't know that I could rise above.
I love you so much,
That I rely on your touch!
I believe destiny's were meant to be,
With each other, the kids,forever you and me!
I love you!

Never Again

Sometimes waking up can be so hard to 
do,
Especially when I am dreaming of you.
My innocents you stole,
And denied it you were on a roll.
You did it to me almost every night
Eventually I gave up the fight.
You would keep on doing it to me anyway,
No matter what I would say.
I wanted you to leave me alone,
Instead you touched me like I was grown.
I just wanted to be a child,
Instead I grew up wild.
I had so many dreams for my life,
Instead I'm fighting to get through this 
strife.
You made me feel so weak,
So my drugs I did seek.
I have been clean for 4 years,
And with it came a lot of tears.
But I have found that I am really strong,
And everything you did was wrong.
I am finally starting to heal,
And my innocents you can never again 
steal!

Somethin To Say

Today started off an awkward day,
Please tell me what you have to say.
You have a mighty big mouth,
And your letting it dribble south.
What is it you want me to say?
That I'll let you have it your way!
You are so absolutely wrong,
You've been doing this to me for far to long.
When it comes to you I have to tell myself I'm okay,
Even on my weakest day.
I keep hoping as a friend you would change,
I guess I'm a little deranged.
Unfortunately I have to accept you will always be the same,
But it's not me where I will continue to let you place blame.

The Time

This is not the time to break down,
This is not the time to drown.
This is not the time to give in,
This is not the time to commit another sin.
This is not the time to fight,
This is not the time to say who's wrong or 
right.
This is not the time to do drugs or drink,
This is not the time to let yourself sink.
This is not the time to give up and die,
This is not the time to never try.
This is the time to love,
This is the time to look at your higher 
power above.
This is the time to give,
This is the time to live.
This is the time to see,
This is the time to be everything you can 
be.
This is the time to celebrate,
This is the time to stay straight.
This is the time to do all that you can,
This is the time to give to your fellow man.

Guessing Game

I know sometimes it's going to rain,
And without pain there is no gain.
But how much do I really have to live?
Considering everything about me I give.
I do my best to make everyone smile,
And when I'm lonely it's your number I 
dial.
From time to time I feel helpless and 
alone,
Even though I'm 31 and fully grown.
Am I ever going to catch a break,
Or am I always going to be chased by the 
snake?
I hate living my life from day to day,
I never know when my mind will go astray.
I have always put on a good little front,
But for my feelings you will have to hunt.
I'm not an easy one to figure out,
However I'm not one to pout.
Until than I remain a guessing game,
And live my life exactly the same.

To Write a Book

I wish this didn't hurt so bad,
Reliving these memories make me sad.
You were cold and unleashed your abuse,
And my mother helped with your excuse.
You had her wrapped like a glove,
you didn't deserve her love.
For you she turned her back on me,
That's what you wanted and she couldn't 
see.
You got everything you wanted,
Even in my dreams I am haunted.
All the raping and beatings I took,
Is this what I had to go though to write a 
book?
Everything you put me through was brutal,
And now therapy is very crucial.
I can't dream or sleep because of you,
Everything you did I remember and every 
bit of it is true.
You claim to be a man,
But as a child I had to try and dodge your 
plan.
When my husband touches me,
My skin burns and I want to turn and flee.
Are you happy with what you have done,
You taught me to hate men and run.
You didn't care if you were sober or high,
Escaping you is what I did try.
I had no one to stand beside me,
And just to live a life I had to pay a fee.
I hate you for everything you have done,
I lived a life of abuse which was no fun.
For everything you did you know you were 
wrong,
But that's okay one day I will be strong!

Our World Is Right

As I lay my head upon your chest,
I feel my body to begin to rest.
Your arms wrapped around,holding me 
tight,
Now I know our world is right!
Hoping and praying for no intrusion,
Please God tell me this is not an illusion!
I never thought love would give me a 
second chance,
Let alone a second glance!
Listen to our hearts as they beat,
Who would of thought true love would 
have us meet?
Every night I go to bed and pray,
That we'll wake up to each other and have 
another day.
My heart, before use to feel so much hate,
Now I believe I have found my soul mate!
I truly believe together we belong,
If we let our love sore, than we can't go 
wrong!
Even if it seems a little scary,
I promise our love, I will always carry!
